Victim of glue method
It will probably be hard to get the Longneck stamp undamaged out of 14 May the Dutch stamp booklet of the Efteling into your album.
The printer of the booklets, Walsall in Great Britain, has actually dropped the glue drops, which keep the cover together, exactly on the stamp of the long-necked Efteling inhabitant, which means that the booklets cannot be opened without damaging the stamp concerned. (see the picture) Opening the booklets cautiously won’t help and the glue cannot be dissolved in rubber cement thinner (a magic potion dissolving sticker glue). Who wants to have an undamaged booklet will have to order it via the Collect Club in Groningen, probably the only place in the Netherlands where unpasted booklets can be bought.
